the latest polling shows mixed results. the pew poll has romney up by four. gallup's daily tracking has the president up by five. what does that mean? >> yeah, first of all, you know, you always take one poll in isolation or even two can be problematic. the best thing always on these is to look there's a few sites that do polling averages, real clear politics, "huffington post," they average all the different polls and put them together. if you want to look at these two right now, they might kind of both be true and it's because of this. the gallup one measures seven days. it's still got a number of predebate days there when oen was ahead. it's got the immediate post debate when romney seems to have pulled even or taken the lead in the two or three days immediately after. >> immediately after. >> what gallup also showed apparently in the last day that's included in the seven days, there was ho movement back towards obama. there was an end to the movement toward romney. so that's why he went from three ahead in the seven-day track yesterday to five ahead in th

campaign and the wrong way for the romney campaign. interestingly, you've got a clip up now of governor romney in florida. i wonder how many people behind him are of that 47%. i wonder how many don't actually pay taxes and they're actually listening to the man they're going to vote for. that scares the hell out of me about this country. >> dr. peterson, here is one key to romney's problems. reuters found that two-thirds of people who saw the romney fund-raiser tape identified with the people he was talking about, not the people at the dinner. so how do you overcome that level of alienation? >> well, you can't overcome that level of alienation -- >> he tried last night. he said he's for the 100% now. he was originally in the 1%, then he said he derided the 47%, now he's for the 100%. he's got there in the end. >> he got there finally in the end but there have been so many gaffes and lies and miscues and missteps in this campaign, even the people who reluctantly wanted to support this guy in the beginning are finding it hard to do so at

a poll finds more americans interested in hearing ryan's speech than mitt romney's thursday. maybe they want to see which ryan shows up. the one who co-sponsored a forcible rape bill with todd akin or the one who keeps running away from his own budget plan. matt miller is a contributor and columnist for "the washington post." perry, that poll found 52% of voters are interested or more interested in the gop platform than romney's speech. whenever paul ryan is pressed about his positions on the platform, this is what he says. >> let's remember, i'm joining the romney/ryan ticket. and the president makes policy. >> is he forgetting the fact that he's literally a heartbeat away from the presidency if mitt romney wins? >> not only that, he's been a huge author of everything the republicans are talking about. the budget plan, the medicare changes. the medicare changes are paul ryan's idea. the notion he's sort of along for the ride is of course off. i mean, paul ryan in some ways is driving the agenda more than mitt romney is. >> right. matt, the fdic today released a positive bank

the republican policy polling survey showed, i think it was 12 to 14 points up. i think mitt romney's people know that he is not doing very well there. they're not building up expectations. i think that math is math and i think that mitt romney has a pretty big delegate lead. is it over until it's over? no. it does matter. he is up by about 300 delegates. it is very hard to see a path. at the states. demographics have been the death lock in this primary. so in southern states, mitt romney has not had a real win. florida is the only state that counts as a southern state technically where he won. and rick santorum has not done well in these rust belt states. >> consistently i felt like, we saw this in 2008 as the process dragged on. it is a bad process. it had nothing to do with the candidates and obviously having been involved in redoing the process, the goal was really to make sure that more people could actually engage in the process which is supposed to be a good thing. i think it is in the constitution about people voting, right? so maggie, just, the point is,
